Circulus : Thought Becomes Reality (UK,2009)****
Despite that I knew already how people see easily some ‘science fiction’ and ‘Aliens’, like wrongly understood interpretations of the esotheric or religious associations in some descriptions of ideas about the creation of the earthly beings and people, as if all these descriptions written down in poetic visions or in theoretic explanations are about something completely physical, in each detail of its expression, while in reality they are about different sorts of evolutions than on a physical level, and are about something governed by different but also steering principles that make them another part of reality, like for instance as a ‘creative principle’ to name it more simply, something which in its essence is supposed to be more known and understood and steered by some creatures somewhere, in history, or of which are more produced by a certain level of experience, which had also some structural preparations to make this happen, before evolving more and more consciously,.. I still was intriguiged by the idea that some people made from this (like the French Raël’s even rather simplified visions about the idea) that the creators of Mankind and the creators on Earth (the Elohim) were actually aliens (??...). But even in theosophy there exists some ideas that make suggestions that these creative constructors, who took care of the developments of all creations on earth, had a physical existence at that stage (so no “light beings” or “Angels” in the background here, just like other creatures with their own comparable sort of evolution plan and existence, even when started long before our evolution), so now I don’t know what to think of this possibility of a reality any longer.
Another idea which does not bother me personally so much but many people do make spins around this is the Mayan calender, a circular stone with calculates of time evolutions until 2012 (-it is a circle in the first place, so why should we panic as if even the circle itself should end in 2012, together with the whole world, so why not universe). “The final Judgement” therefore now is placed by some fantasists, after so many other dates before this, in 2012, where some people might be “chosen” to be beamed up by UFO’s to be saved from world’s destruction.
It is this sort of Science Fiction fantasy which is used here to give this a musical concept with a positive perspective to go to somewhere better, when beamed up by these mushroom-UFO’s to some new paradise state. In our temporally state of world crisis and degenerations of cultural and human habits, I think this is a good excuse and idea and new possibility to create such an imaginable island of good energy. And, like the front cover says, “thoughts becomes reality”, this does not only say that we must be aware of our responsibility of what we do now and how we could imagine it to change, into destruction or something else, Circulus makes that musical island’s opportunity, as an expression of cultural richness of the past as an opportunity today, as something which might be able to be saved for later, indeed. I mean, this gives a comparable world which once was expressed and started by a group like Gryphon in the 70s, as medieval folk-rock with crumhorns and flutes, with medieval dances the right renewed and transformed energy of this to do something with it today. This is partly a story songbook, about beeming the band up to new worlds, in song, creating a whirling medieval folk dance energy, so that it makes them ready to be beemed up while aliens in the background, like elves or pixies, enthusiastically drive the engine up until, they are ready and come into this new paradise, celebrating there the old folk dances, saved from this world, with heavy guitars, with a powerful sound. Yes, the band’s sound developed into something really enjoyable, a new sort of folk-rock with medieval flairs, into its own unique expression. Well done !
